The earlier example regarding the intruder in the house is another example of this, Natalie was chased around the house and thrown off a balcony into a swimming pool, 5 minutes later she’s sitting down alone having a class of wine in the house waiting for husband Kevin to arrive home. There are a few annoying moments in the movie and that is how the actors pretend like nothing happened before in scenes, in one moment Natalie is blamed for drugging husband Kevin with something deadly by the police and the next scene they’re in the kitchen talking about lunches… clearly he is uncomfortable, although the scene is so poorly presented that you wouldn’t think that he would have concerns at the thought of his wife Natalie potentially drugging him. (Why didn’t she just allow the police officers to arrive anyway? Someone has clearly been taking photos of her while she’s been asleep?!) and this isn’t the first incident. The actors do and make stupid STUPID decisions, for example Natalie sees that somebodies been taking photos of her while she’s been asleep and begins to think that somebody is now trying to break into her house as she is looking at the photos, and phones 911 to discover it was tree branches that were hitting the window to then tell the 911 operator to not worry about it, to then find out someone is actually in the house straight after she hangs up to then run away and phone them AGAIN for assistance. I will give the movie its positive here! It knew how to deliver something dramatic, however was it accurate at times? However this is when a con is clearly presented as so much drama happens in such a short time, an affair, an suicide, a mother who doesn’t care, a struggling relationship, counselling, struggling job careers, weird incidents in the house, a hostile sister and so on… it overshadows the horror of the movie. It felt like I was watching a cheap American soap opera, and this is clearly presented in the finished product that they tried to make the movie into a drama with horror elements. Just a heads up, the review will not be spoiler free as I need to rant at the shocking twist the movie focuses on at the end…Īs soon as the movie begun, I felt there was something off with the audio (like it was too loud) and how the scenes were presented to us as a audience. The movie stars Ashley Greene (Twilight) as Natalie and Shawn Ashmore (Frozen, The Ruins, X-men) as Kevin, a struggling married couple who want to start fresh by moving into a new house for a new start to rekindle their relationship… although you guessed it, the new house has something fishy going on! ![]() ![]() ![]() Our content is intended to be used for general information purposes only.

There definitely should be a recall!!!!ĬonsumerAffairs is not a government agency. I do not have much more to put in this vehicle and I can NOT get ANY HELP!!!! I am very pissed, upset, sad etc. We have not been able to go on any vacation or anything since it went down. I have 3 children, myself, my fiancé and my father. This vehicle was purchased because of the room it has. But now I am so badly upset because I have a vehicle that I paid off this summer and have not been able to enjoy as of late. I absolutely love this vehicle and a friend of mine purchased one because they liked it so much. These fuel pumps are extremely high priced and hard to find. I did return the one I purchased and am in search of a new one again. They told me my fuel pressure was great only to tell me approximately a month later I needed a new high pressure fuel pump. First I was told the ECM was bad so they tried a brand new one and that didn’t work. I have replaced the battery, both fuel pumps, plugs/coils and the ECM. That was in August and today it is December 17, 2022. Nissan had someone tow it back to the shop and it’s been there since. The next morning I went to take my daughter to school and again it wouldn’t start. Imagine that your car shut down in the middle of highway. Because of the few engine shut off in the middle of driving, I almost got myself killed a couple of times. Since the same issues kept happening, I contacted the Infiniti consumer affair team but they said that they couldn't do anything and refused the buyback of my car. I picked it up the car but the engine ignition issue occurred again. A technician told me that he found the failure in the current code and fixed the issue. Finally, I arrived at the Infiniti dealership and showed the video to a technician showing the engine shut off in the middle of driving. I almost fall off the cliff because the brake didn't work. The engine shut off again in the middle of driving but I was able to restart it after a few attempts. Since I didn't have another option, I had to drive it to the nearest Infiniti dealership.

Although honestly, if you want a freshwater reel that really shows off what Abu Garcia is about, their true flagship product is probably the made in Sweden, Morrum ZX 3600/3601. Retrieve ratio options are less than stellar for leftiesĬonclusion: As flagship models go, the REVO Premier isn't really as "fauncy" as say the Shimano Antares or Daiwa's Steez - few reels really are. Sharing the same black and gold color scheme and an updated version of theĪ different feeling in retrieve from the rest of the family, but still very good and the casting brakes are my favorite in the Abu familyįlagship comes at a price but in the case of Abu Garcia, not as high as other manufacturersĪluminum gears, Power Matrix Carbon Stack Drag, IVCB-6L brakes The Premier is essentially a of low profile version of the Morrum ZX, Sales of left hand reels just do not justify Abu Garcia cutting the gears in the opposite direction. But it is a point of contention and disappointment. This is not a huge deal in practical terms since we're only really talking about three inches of line per turn of the handle on a full spool of line. Us lefthand retrieve folks are left with only one choice. Price & Applications: If you use right hand retrieve reels, the Premier will be slightly more attractive to you than those of us who prefer left hand retrieve ratios only because there are two retrieve ratios from which you can choose. It's not a hugely significant difference, but one that is welcomed if ergonomics are important to you. It is a difference you can easily feel when you pick the reels up side by side and one that my wrists can feel after an extended day fishing. The entire Revo casting reel lineup shares this nice, low profileĭesign & Ergonomics: The use of an aluminum main gear and perhaps the carbon handle too results in an overall weight reduction in the Premier of one point two ounces (1.2oz) as measured in our lab when compared to the REVO STX. I knew this already because I've fished several other gen 4 REVOs with the same drag system prior to the Premier. I was thankful though as it showed me what I kind of already knew - that Power Stack Carbon Matrix Drag is smooth and consistent. I checked my drag setting and it was where I like it (I rarely if ever lock down my drag) so IĬhalked it up to just an overly aggressive fish. I really thought I had a good fish on because it managed to pull some drag, and then when I got it to the side of the boat, I saw it was maybe a two to two and a half pound fish at best. Matched nicely with a Daiwa Tatula casting stick On about the seventh or eighth cast, just when I was losing confidence in the bait combo, a feisty little male took the bait and proceeded to battle as if it were a five or six pounder! I tied on an old Fintech Title Shot jighead and topped it with a Berkley Powerbait Bearded Grass Pig Swimbait and made some casts out into a shallow bay we were fishing. I was thankful a fish didn't strike during these tests though because the TAT721HFB is NOT a cranking stick.Ību's Power Stack Carbon Matrix drag nestled within the Premier'sĭrag: To get that sometimes elusive hookup and confirm the fish fighting characteristics of the Premier, I had to go vertical. Certainly not my first choice in deep cranking combos, but I did tie on a Strike King 10XD to see how the Premier would handle this bait and really, it pulled the 10XD just fine. Power: None of that has an effect on the reel's performance however as the Premier was more than capable of handling normal and some abnormal fishing duties. The Premier features an aluminum alloy gear It is the normal trade off - aluminum is lighter, but also more rigid than brass, hence that connected feel. The result is a familiar, connected feel as that aluminum gear transmits, rather than shields you from all the internal workings of the reel. Each retrieve is enabled by an aluminum main gear - the Premier is the only gen 4 REVO to have aluminum gearing. Retrieve: The gen 4 REVO Premier is available in two gear ratios, but only one of these (6.6:1) is available in both left and right hand retrieve.

Nicknamed Scout, she lives with her more established sibling Jeremy, nicknamed Jem, and their bereaved dad Atticus, a moderately aged attorney. The main plot of To Kill a Mockingbird audiobook, told by the six-year-old Jean Louise Finch, happens during three years (1933–35) of the Great Depression in the anecdotal town of Maycomb, Alabama, the seat of Maycomb County. There are 13 important characters in To Kill a Mockingbird audiobook: Atticus Finch, Scout Finch, Jem Finch, Dill Harris, Calpurnia, Aunt Alexandra, John Finch, Arthur Radley, Judge John Taylor, Tom Robinson, Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, Miss Maudie. Regardless of managing the significant issues of rape and racial inequality, the novel is famous for its glow and humor. The plot and characters of To Kill a Mockingbird audiobook are approximately founded on Lee’s perceptions of her family, her neighbors and an occasion that happened close to her old neighborhood of Monroeville, Alabama, in 1936, when she was ten. The book’s racial slurs, profanity, and frank discussion of rape have led people to challenge its appropriateness in libraries and classrooms across the United States. ![]() Now on Free Audiobooks Online, there is the To Kill a Mockingbird audiobook version for everyone to enjoy the story more convenient.

Hitting open shotsĪ big story of the Spurs season has been their inability to hit open jumpers. It will be interesting to see if the Spurs go with a similar rotation on Friday, or switch things up again. With Dominick Barlow available for the Spurs, could he get a crack at minutes? Barlow is the second leading scorer in the G League, and has shown the ability to defend at the NBA-level. Notably, Popovich didn’t play a backup center against Minnesota. He made good on that opportunity with an efficient 22 points in the loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. This gave Vassell more opportunities to have the ball in his hands. Sochan was relegated to back-up forward and point guard duties while Osman, Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson handled the ball-handling responsibilities in the starting five. Gregg Popovich debuted a new starting lineup on Wednesday that included Cedi Osman in Jeremy Sochan’s place. A half-court game could allow good offensive players like DeRozan and Nikola Vucevic to shred San Antonio’s so-so defense. The Spurs will need to find ways to speed up Chicago and make them play at their pace. Chicago is good at taking care of the basketball, turning it over just 12 times a game. That approach will be tough against the Bulls. San Antonio’s offense has been at it’s best when they get out after creating turnovers, or scoring on the secondary break. They try to speed teams up and get early offense. The Spurs are top-5 in the league in pace. They are last in the NBA in pace, of play opting instead for a methodical half-court game led by DeRozan. The Bulls are an interesting matchup for the Spurs. Spurs injuries: Charles Bediako – Out (G League,) Sidy Cissoko – Out (G League,) Sir’Jabari Rice – Out (G League)īulls injuries: Lonzo Ball – Out (left knee,) Onuralp Bitim – Out (G league,) Alex Caruso – Probably (left toe,) Torrey Craig – Probable (left knee,) Zach Lavine – Out (right foot,) Justin Lews – Out (G League,) Adama Sanogo – Out (G League) What to watch for Controlling the tempo A win on Friday would be a big step forward for the young team. The Spurs have made strides in the last few games. With no Zach Lavine, the Bulls will rely on former-Spur DeMar DeRozan for a bulk of their offense. Despite that, they’ve won their last three games, and are within striking distance of a play-in spot. ![]() The Chicago Bulls are dealing with the drama of trade rumors for a star, and murmurs of blowing up the roster. As the Spurs try to avoid history, they’ll be matched up with a team that also isn’t living up to their expectations. That record was set by last year’s team during an abysmal stretch to start the calendar year. Now the young team is just one loss away from tying the franchise’s longest losing streak at 16-games. It’s been a full month since the San Antonio Spurs won their last game. ![]() ![]() They shared his cum mouth to mouth and made sure this was taken as a lesson well learned.MILF Havana Bleu gagged before doggy and rough cock riding Fapnado 08:00 Sexy Euro dyke Sasha Rose fingered before hardcore dildo play Lesbianbliss 06:15 me encanta que me cojan mucho el culo y me vuelve loca chupar pija Xvideosred 13:13 Hard Interracial Anal with Flower Tucci Pornoxo 31:35 Dazzling lady is playing with her perfect quim Iceporn 05:00 Katana's Bali Hookup Drtuber Chinese Blowjob 06:00 Outdoor blowjob and swallow Drone Hunter Eporner 08:00 Bound unshaved British screwed by big black cock Faptor 05:09 Nicole's Lesbian 3-Way Faptor 06:39 Bootylicious amateur girl blows a guy and gets cock deeply Chubbyporn 13:39 Amazing brunette hot girl loves when her feet are worshiped Faptor 06:15 Hot Cougar shows off sexy body & inserts her toy deep in her wet snatch Faptor 03:05 Sleepover Turn Into Sexy Lesbian Sex Lesbianbliss 06:16 Perfect Big Tits Eporner 09:01:44 compeer's daughters girlpatron No Girls Except Your Stepsis Eporner 08:00 Sweet Chinese Stephanie Kim Face And Twat Nailed By Rome Major!

You need to point these towards where you would like to build your next settlement. I personally prefer to go second or third - there are often three good spots on the board to begin with, but the choices get worse as the board fills up and choosing late can leave you with poor options. There are no significant advantages inherent in going 1st/2nd/3rd/4th, though players who strongly prefer a particular strategy tend to want to go earlier. Obviously, the order in which you get to go will affect your opportunities. But no strategies can do without ore and wheat, so if you don't start with them, you'd better have a plan of how to get them. There are highly competitive strategies that need very little brick and wood. Where to next? You need to consider options for expansion, and this can be a good tie-breaker in your decision making if you feel two placements are essentially equal. Paired resources like 9 of wood and 9 of brick will give you an instant road every time a 9 is rolled, and this sort of synergy is powerful.Ħ. Try to get roughly the same number of pips of wood and brick, and similarly for ore and wheat. 2/3 of the time, you will be getting a resource card, and you'll feel involved throughout.ĥ. The dream initial placement is something like 4/6/9 and 5/8/10. This seems a little counter-intuitive, but it is great for experienced players as it keeps them in the game regardless of how the dice shake down. ![]() The ideal is to get as many different number placements as possible. Especially good are ports that match nicely with your best resource-gathering tiles.Ĥ. ![]() Choosing late in the round often leaves you with poor choices, and coastal options may become appealing if they come with a port (though make sure it is one with 2 hexes adjacent, not one!). To maximize pips, you should generally avoid the desert and the coast. Place your settlements looking to maximize your probability of getting resource cards (if you're placing numbers according to the recommended spiral convention, the best you can do is 13 pips, e.g. Each number has pips on it indicating its probability (out of 36) of being rolled on a given throw of the dice. You're going to need all of wood, brick, wheat, sheep, and ore, so why not make sure you have them all at the start? Place your first settlement so you get 3 different resources, and pick up the final 2 with your last placement.Ģ. Good players consider all the factors below, and how much weight should be given to each in a particular game is dependent on the exact layout of the tiles and numbers.ġ. There are different levels of sophistication here, starting with the obvious and moving to the more subtle. It's vastly longer than I initially intended and contains a high level of nerdy overanalysis. It's broken into parts: initial setup of settlements and roads, probabilities, development cards, the robber, five strategies to try ( Commander, Developer, Producer, Explorer, and Queen of Sheep), the mid and late game, troubleshooting, and a few final words. This guide is to help those who know how to play already but want to be more competitive, whether in person, online, or even against those pesky 'bots. The rules are described very clearly in the game itself and are freely available online. This strategy guide does NOT tell you how to play the game. I've played it off and on for 10 years, and one of my first instructables was a 3D plywood version of the board. It uses a beautiful and endlessly variable but always familiar board. It's probably the most successful of the Euro-style games, and has spawned numerous expansions. ![]() Catan (previously called " Settlers of Catan") is a classic boardgame designed by Klaus Teuber. ![]() |
